Hello Guest!

There's lots to learn here by reading as a guest. However, if you become a member (it's free, ad free and spam-free) you'll have access to our large vermiculite databases, our seed exchange spreadsheets, Mel's Mix calculator, and many more members' pictures in the Gallery. Enjoy.

Last Sat. I put up kale, spinach, Thai basil, eggplant and leeks. By last Tuesday the kale and spinach had already sprouted which really surprised me. As of this morning everything is sprouted but the eggplant. This weekend it's pepper time.

Spinach is my favorite veggie, raw, cooked, salad, dinner anyway I can get it I will.

A simple recipe I found a long time agoBacon & onions sauteed in butterboil & drain spinachadd all in a pot and thicken to suit yourself..We use flour to thicken.I sometimes eat the whole thing...whats left that is....

llama...I was interested in the size from the description...and I bought a packet of each type of spinach my local nursery carried last fall. I planned on seeding many empty squares for winter spinach...but the germination wasn't that great. I probably have some edible spinach still under the snow. It's supposed to melt this weekend so I'll find out.

My spinach is called charger and it is supposed to be an upright leaf type and it's supposed to be very hardy. I know Mel says it doesn't transplant well but I wanted to try something in my new greenhouse with my kale and sno peas.

I have a question about leeks. After planting them in pint size containers I read in the book that you just sow them in a tray of vermiculite. Only about 8 have come up so far so I wonder if I planted them incorrectly. This is my first year with seeds as in the past I bought sets.
